Hi friends, I’m so excited to share my first card as part of the SheetLoad of Cards Creative Team! I’ve been a huge fan of Alicia’s sketches for years, and now I’m thrilled to create alongside the talented team. For the July 2025 SheetLoad, I dug into my stash and found some retired patterned paper from Stampin’ Up!’s Delicate Desert collection and paired it with the Right on Track stamp set from My Favorite Things and the For the Record stamp set from Concord & 9th. Shopping your stash is such a great way to stretch your supplies, and I love how I was able to create a cohesive, music-inspired card that feels both modern and playful.

Instead of using two patterned papers, I made my own by stamping a layered record image in warm gray and mint inks to match my color palette. I followed the July SheetLoad sketch for all the cutting and layout details and used foam adhesive to pop up my focal panel for some extra dimension. I stamped and colored the cutest cat with headphones using alcohol markers and created a soft seafoam green record player to match my custom background. I finished off the card with white gel pen highlights and a few fun details to bring my cat and record player to life. I love how this card turned out, and thanks to the SheetLoad template, I now have a whole stack of similar cards ready to go!
